So I decided not to run the ohlone 100 mile run i do ever year and finish with the 50k. I am running out of time and in reality I have so much to do. Yes, I'm sad;( but I know in my heart I made the right choice. I don't even have time to run the 50k tomorrow. But I will show up and run the first 10 miles at 5am to check ribbions. I will then wait for the runners to pass through the first aid station. Me & Ju will go back home finish packing our resupply boxes. I hope to be back to the finish line at 3pm.I wish all my friends good luck at the Ohlone 50k. I got my hair braided Thursday took 8 hours. I realized after it was done they were way to thick and heavy. My braider Sydney used way to much hair. But I didn't think about it at the time. . I loved the way they looked but I knew there was no way in hell I could fastpack 2,666 miles with all the extra weight on my head. I would of been cutting the braids out the first day on the trail. Not to mention if I got them wet my head would of weighed 10 pounds ;)So I went back yesterday for 10 hours to have them taken down and redone.Now they are perfect.I beleive this all happened for a reason and I was not meant to run the Ohlone 100 this year.My higher power was telling me rest and get everything ready for the PCT. The Ohlone 100 will be waiting when I return. Yes, I plan on running it in September sometime.
